If the jury was ever out on this one, it certainly wasn't for long. Now, it's official. Mr. Forget-me-not has forever secured the deserving title of, World's Coolest Dad.
Anyone who can turn an old tire swing into hours of mango tree swinging fun is a clear winner in my book. I've already told him, no matter where we move from here on out, that the tire swing is getting packed along with us. No kidding, it's that fun! Someday our grandchildren will enjoy this island treasure.
Not that I'm jealous or anything, but children, if you can read this, I'd really appreciate your consideration as the other Cool Parent in your lives. You may not believe me, because I know it is a long shot, but my life is all about fun: F.U.N., fun, fun, fun.
Come on now, you can't tell me that it isn't fun to open up your dresser drawer and discover folded, clean undies? Or how about the culinary fun of preparing a dinner that you'll eat without complaining if the menu doesn't include the word "stick." That's about be as good as a trip to Disneyland. Homework helper, hey, there's another really cool chink in my chain. Nothing says fun like times tables and double digit subtraction. It has Cool written all over it.
Alright, alright, so Dad beats me out as, Captain Fun. I'll admit defeat, if I must. But don't say I didn't try. (Homemade playdough made from KoolAid for the first three years of all your little people lives should win me a few points, right?)
Mr. Forget-me-not, when it comes to being a Dad, you rock. For real. We all scored. Big time.
Always on the grow,
I didn't know it was possible! Can one family be any more beautiful? Wow! Wooly is growing so fast--I love his hair and the girls are gorgeous. What fun pictures. I think your kids scored in both the Dad and Mom department, by the way. Miss you.
